BALTIMORE (February 21, 2019) – GKV, one of Baltimore’s largest integrated marketing firms, today announced it has named Dave Broscious and Mark Rosica co-creative directors. Broscious and Rosica have more than four decades of experience between them creating dynamic, breakthrough campaigns that help challenger brands stand out in crowded marketplaces and ultimately drive business.

“We are so fortunate to have two amazingly talented and smart creative directors at the helm of our creative department,” said Roger Gray, Chairman and CEO. “I have personally worked with Mark and Dave for more than 12 years and continue to be impressed by the quality of work they create and how they continue to raise the bar for our clients and staff every day.”

GKV’s creative team was previously under the direction of Jeff Millman, who has been with GKV since 1983. While Millman will continue his leadership role with several accounts, particularly with baby boomer and health care focused clients, he has turned over the day-to-day operations, strategy and oversight of GKV’s creative department to Broscious and Rosica.

Dave has over 25 years of creative experience in advertising, first as a copywriter, then creative director and currently as a chief creative strategist. In his tenure as a creative partner at GKV, he’s played an integral part in many of the agency’s most successful campaigns: PANDORA Jewelry, Sprint, McCormick, Snyder’s-Lance, Blue Cross Blue Shield and the Maryland Lottery, to name a few.

Prior to joining GKV, Dave served as a lead creative for various Northeast advertising agencies, developing highly effective, awarding-winning work in the consumer, business-to-business and direct response categories.

The campaigns that Dave has worked on have garnered awards not just from his creative peers, but from business and government marketing associations as well. Some of his most honored awards were given to him on behalf of the Cannes International Advertising Festival, New York Festival, the National Addys and the Philadelphia Art Director’s Club.

Dave graduated from the Pennsylvania State University with a bachelor’s degree in Advertising. As a creative generalist, Dave writes, records and performs songs with his band, creates recipes from scratch in the kitchen and on his smoker, and continues to search the world for the very best Buffalo wings. He resides in Catonsville, Maryland and is the father of six: one son, one daughter, a dog, two cats and one very large horse.
